The north pole of a long horizontal bar magnet is being brought towards closed circuit consisting of a coil. The direction of induced current produced in it is
Options
- Aanticlockwise
- Bhorizontal
- Cvertical
- Dclockwise
Correct answer
A. anticlockwise
Step-by-step solution
According to the Lenz's law, the induced current is such that it opposes the change in flux which causes it. Hence the induced produces a field which opposes the field due to the magnet. For this it should flow in anticlockwise direction.
